Engagement ring catching- any ideas?!

Thanks all 🙏🏻

My 1970s engagement ring needed numerous repairs, because the setting was quite high. A local jeweller remodelled it for me. I burst into tears when I saw the finished ring. I love it!

Had mine re-tipped by a very good/ expensive jeweller in York. Doesn't catch on anything now.

I have a straight 3 diamond ring (Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow) and had the claws renewed due to catching. Been good since.

Start by changing your goldsmith. Whoever repaired your ring the last time did not do a very good job.

The claws should not be so sharp or loose that anything can catch on them.

I have worn my grandmother's engagement ring constantly since her death when I was fourteen (I am now 73) and have never had a problem that a good goldsmith could not fix.

I've had the same problem, even more annoying as I'm a keen knitter and it kept getting caught. I took mine to a local jeweller for advice and they remodelled it into one with a (I think) rub over setting, so the stones are set into a sort of frame, so avoiding any catching. As it was quite worn and thin, they also added some gold to the shank to thicken it up a bit and make it stronger. I think I paid about £300, which sounds a lot, but it was well worth it. I took mine to a local independent jeweller as the big chains wanted to charge a fortune - not that £300 isn't a lot, but they wanted a lot more. Good luck.

Thank you very much - I’ll have a look at that setting. Did it change the look of the ring much?

I think that only a jewellery can modify your ring to prevent it catching .
I have some costume jewellery rings which can catch on things.
Before going out I paint the offending ring with clear nail polish .
I wouldn't do it to an expensive ring .
